GIBRALTAR TUNNEL
SPAIN’S PROJECT. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyngnt). LONDON; January 14. The “ Times’s ” Madrid correspondent states that an expert commission of engineers’ geologists, and hydrographers have selected a point west of Tarifa from which to begin wont on the Straits of. Gibraltar Tunnel. They will select a point on the Afric’n shore in February. The technical problems are not considered to offer any great difficulties. Tjie- tunnel would be only two miles longer than the Simplon tunnel, but economically the enterprise is -regarded as hazardous, as the. traffic is hardly expected to prove remunerative until tlie tunnel is connected with African railways.. Ibis is unlikely to happen for many years.
